Has anyone found an app that lets you know when you get a notification for the punch out hole?
Crazy but I just upgraded from the OG Pixel and loved my LED lights.
Appreciate any info!
Thanks
It does not use punch hole but Always On Edge app for notifications, uses screen edge lighting.
If you fiddle with the settings for AOE sufficiently you can get it to place a small notification circle around the hole punch.

Is this just battery percentage?
Don't see any option for notification
Thanks
Use AOE from the play store. You can get the ring around the camera or around the whole screen. Also works with native AOD which is nice. Can set it so both the ring around the camera and the AOD come on only when you get a notification.

It looks like the touch surface at the bottom of the device has slight translucent look about it. Might it serve as a notification LED as well?
I think the chances are good. I noticed that as well.
Also, in the video over on android central of the g4 rom running on the nexus, he mentions led notifications built into the rom. I'm not sure if he mean built into the hacked rom or the standard rom.
Hopefully there is

Problem is that development will now have to corporate that in to the roms
I can confirm that there is LED notification located just to the left of the ambient light sensor. There is also a Notification flash setting under the display settings. Flash LED light notifications optinos include: Missed call, SMS/MMS, Email, Voicemail, Reminders, and Alarms. Of course it is also used as a charging notification.

There are multiple color options. I do not know which colors are for what but I do know that emails are green.
Great now I have to decide... HD7, or myTouch 4g?
I'm kinda scared to shift to a new OS, just because it is so new that I have no idea if it will adjust well with how I use a device, however... if I get the 4g it will take forever for official updates to come to the device...
So hard... I guess I will have to try both devices at the T-Mobile store.

Definitively android. wp7 will be a flop.
I too can confirm. youtube wirefly's channel. they got a unboxing AND a small review. (the review has the notification light blinking)
Can anyone who has actually used the phone confirm that there's an LED for notifications and that it's functional? Thanks.

Are you all talking about the notification light at the top that turns on as orange for charging and blinks green for emails? If not I have no idea where this is located :/

Is there a way to assign a colour to the notification LED? Like green for whatsapp and red for Gmail? I can't see a way to make the change and the current colour scheme seems to be inconsistant. I've downloaded Light manager which has no effect.

Whatsapp has an option to do that. Look in in the Settings/Notifications
For Gmail you will need a 3rd-Party-App like this

Iv been thinking about buying this phone and seeing this thread means it actually DOES have a notification LED? I couldn't tell from any of the reviews or pictures out on the net.

The notification LED is built within the top speaker grill to the right hand side.. And many reviews do mention it...
Does anyone else have an issue where the colors aren't working correctly? Light flow doesn't seem to work either..
I notice that the led colour is limited. I can get red, blue, green, and magenta working that's it.
See these threads for more info about how the LED works on this phone:

Hi all I've just made the switch again from iOS to Android last Android being a note 3.
Really loving the s8+ such a nice device. One thing I do miss from iOS is whenever I get any notification the screen turns on with the notification and a small preview.
At the minute I keep missing emails as all I get is a icon with no preview on the always on display.
Is there anyway of having all notifications popup and either turn the screen on with the notification (Samsung bubble popup) or have a preview on the AOD
Thanks

Yes there is.... Just turn off AOD and install for free from playstore "glimpse notification".It just do exactly what you want. I had it on s7 edge, Note 7 and now on S8+ and is working perfectly with more less battery consumption from AOD. You will not see any deference in you battery consumptiont. Just activate it, give him all permissions deactivate app notification (you only need notification from all other apps) and from settings choose as white list which apps you want to turn screen on (to show notifications) and click to led notification light to work together, run the test and you are done.
It's working perfect and all the times
Thanks I'll check it out
Just having a play with this and it works well. I do like the always on display though. Will this work with that still enabled?
Thanks

Anybody seen this app? Just found it by accident. Works like the built-in one should. It's free and ad free.

I like the notch and will not be hiding it
only problem with that app is it produces 2 persistent notifications. not a good trade-off in my book.

Hold the notification. You can hide them.

the notifications are there to keep the app running all the time. if you block the notifications the app likely will quit working at times.

Hasn't for me. Been running since I posted this.
20degrees method worked for me. No persistent notification. Now I can have the notch always hidden like I wanted
Works nicely. Now when you go into other apps, the top stays black and the notch stays hidden.
Only minor issue if you have OCD, is say you use something like FB Messenger, part of the chat head will be hidden under the blacked out part of the top.
I've been running it for 3 days and no issues yet. Still stays persistent too!

Can't you do the same thing without installing an extra app?
Settings -> Display -> Second Screen
Pick "Custom" and it should change it to be black around the edge of the notch by default.

That stops when u go into apps where the notification bar is a different color. This app keeps it black all the time.

Yup. I actually just donated to the guy. It's worth a few $$ to me.
Does anyone know of a way to get Google Photos to "respect" the notch and not stretch all the way to the top? Otherwise the close and menu icons are cut off (when Natcho Notch) when you're editing a photo.
Conversely, for full-screen apps that do respect the notch but hide the status bar, like Acrobat Reader and Google Play Books, is there a way to force the status bar to show? Otherwise, we have wasted space on both sides of the notch.
My only concern is that unlike amoled screens, lcd screens stay lit when the screen needs to display black. Would it cause burn in by any chance?

My understanding is that LCD screens are not susceptible to burn-in the way AMOLED screens are.

Hey all,
I'm so used to all the features of Light Flow that I didn't realize how much I depended on it. Since the 3 does not have an LED, I'm looking for an alternative app to manage my notifications. I want to be able to choose the notification sound and the vibration pattern per app.
Light Flow does this but not without requiring a persistent notification. Normally you'd be able to avoid this by installing Light Flow Legacy, but it does not show up in the app store on the Pixel 3.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks
Go to apk mirror and download light flow legacy that way. Let us know how it goes. I really hate the lack of notification LED, but I'm not willing to go as far as you to customize the vibrations etc.

Already tried this. It doesn't seem be on there.
I've been using Light Manager. It displays customized colored icons on the screen in place of the LED, with AOD turned off. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

Since there is no LED, we have no way of knowing if my phone is charging when plugged in without turning on the screen. Does light manager have a solution for this too?
Yes, it shows a charging icon and the %

I tried it and it looks like the default lock screen prevents the icons from displaying. Do you have your screen set to stay off when new notifications come in or is there something else you changed in either the app or system settings? Sorry for hijacking the thread with all the questions, but this lack of LED makes my phone useless while the screen is off.
Yes I have always on display off, and new notifications off. Double tap and lift for notifications I still have on though.

What other settings do you have? My phone isn't waking up with Light Manager with AOD/new notifications off and double tap/lift for notifications on. I do not have a lock screen enabled nor does it work with lock screen (swipe) enabled.
The "tests" aren't working either.

Does this require you to double-unlock to get to your phone, or is there someway around that?

That got it working. I have to tap the screen once, home/back button then shows, then double tap to get to the home screen.
Yeah I use fingerprint unlock and realize it requires it being done twice. We need a cleaner solution.

A cleaner solution was the $0.03 LED that Google removed from the phone! It shouldn't be this hard to tell if my phone is charging.
If I wanted a useless notification system, I would've purchased an iPhone!
